How to adjust recording volume levels separately for each channel? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:How to adjust recording volume levels separately for each channel? Posted by: kumar Date:1/21/2004 3:13:10 PM Hi, I am using Sound Forge 6.0 (Build 132) and would like to know how I can adjust the recording volumes for each channel separately. I have some tape recordings that have unequal volume levels between the two channels (that I am trying to digitally encode). Thanks in advance. Harry

If you drag the mouse above the left channel 0dB line it will select only the left channel. Likewise, dragging below the right channel 0dB line will select only the right channel. You can also use Edit / Selection / Set (or Shift+Ctrl+D) to bring up a selection window, choose All Sample Data, and pick a channel. After you have a channel selected any Process / Volume adjustments (or most anything else for that matter) will affect only that one channel.

This is entirely up to the capabilities of your soundcard mixer applet. Many are permanently ganged, some aren't. Double-click the little speaker in the systray to find out... geoff

Yes, my soundcard mixer applet is ganged:(. However, I am going to try what Chienworks suggested, barring that, what mjhig suggested. JG
